I had a fun day yesterday. It was a cold rainy day so I decided to stay in and do some puttzing around the house.

There is nothing like puttzing around your home on a cold rainy day, especially during the Holidays.

The music is playing in the background and the candles are lit, fire in the fireplace.

I think the stage is set for a great Falalaing kind of day.

On days like this I like to give myself a special treat. I am going to share with you all some of the things I keep on hand for myself and for my drop-in guest.

I
have always kept a supply of Trader Joe’s almond mini biscotti and
enjoyed it immensely, but this by far surpasses the almond biscotti.If you have not had this before you must try it……….

“NONNI’S GINGERBREAD PECAN BISCOTTI”

Another plus it is only 80 calories, pretty good for a sweet treat.

One of these biscotti, and your favorite cup of tea or coffee =Love in a cup!

Speaking of tea I have two teas that I love to drink in the winter……

PEETS WINTER SOLSTICE

This
tea has a spice, vanilla, citrus flavor. There is something about the
addition of the vanilla that just makes this a wonderful mellow cup of
tea with just hints of spice and citrus.

Peet’s only carries it this time of year so you can bet your bottom dollar I will be buying several boxes to last all winter.

It
makes a wonderful hostess gift too. In fact that is how I got my first
box. A dear friend brought it tied up in a beautiful coppery brown satin
ribbon. Boy, was it pretty on that blue box.

The other tea that I have been drinking this winter is Stash’s………..

Lemon-Ginger Tea

This
tea has a strong ginger flavor so if you don’t like ginger you would
not like this tea. I love ginger and lemon so it is a perfect mix for
this girl. I squeeze a bit more lemon and a spoonful of honey and it is a
perfect cup of tea.

So
there you have it!!! This is what I treat myself with on a cold and
rainy afternoon, with the fireplace lit, and Christmas music in the
background.

Do
you all have some fun little treats that you like to keep around for
yourself and drop-in guest? Do share, we can always use more ideas in
blogland!!
